So to the hockey experts and we have some on this board ... is Crawford to blame for that goal in Game Two when he literally couldn't see the puck? Do the Hawks simply have to eliminate those plays where TB gets a straight on shot from deep where they hope for the friendly carom and push it past poor Crawford?

 

My final question is ... after two games do you see anything technical that tells you the Hawks will flourish in these next two home games and grasp the 3-1 lead?

 

for me, this is a long season. partly b/c they expanded the season.

 

second, Crawford has done better than i expected and he is part of the reason why we are in the SC series.

 

long season = tired hockey players.

 

TVR likely in for Rundbland tonight

 

No update on Bishop yet

Bickell is back in tonight for Versteeg. It actually wasn't a concussion, but vertigo.

Big goal, they were dominating with nothing to show for it

Gonna regret not getting a second goal after playing so well against a hurt goalie.

One report was that it was, um, an intestinal issue.

Ha, I read that too. Whatever it was , he seems to be moving gingerly at times now. Maybe it's a 3 day bug?

Hawks are flat in this period.

Would have had a goal if Vermette Just passed to Hossa on that breakaway

Bishop can barely stand back up. Score a goal!

Bickell bad penalty.

Refs taking this game over...............Crawford gets hit and not a call ever.

Man that crowd is incredible.
